Jiu Zhang Ji: The Daily Life of the Reborn Daughter

Chapter 169: Demoted to a Township Lord for Lack of Morality

Emperor Yong'an set out to return to the palace. As he walked, he felt that he was the only one left. Looking back, he saw his Fei'er holding the girl Qiao Lili with her left hand and the brat Yu Jingyan with her right hand. What was going on?

They are a loving family, but the clown is himself.

"You go back by yourself. A Li and A Yan and I will go to the orphanage to see the children." Concubine Yun saw Yu Linghuan looking back at her and said to him perfunctorily.

Yu Linghuan felt a little aggrieved and said in a pleading tone: "Fei'er came with me."

"So I won't go back with you." Concubine Yun winked mischievously.

What kind of logic is this?

Yu Linghuan didn't want to give in and wanted to plead with Concubine Yun a few more times to go back to the palace with her. Then he could take those damn memorials to Yunxiao Palace for review. Reviewing the memorials in Yunxiao Palace would make them seem less annoying.

However, as soon as he stepped out of the door of Jiade Auction House, Emperor Yong'an changed his gentle and soft words just now. Everything he saw made him instantly furious.

His beloved eldest daughter, Yu Xinyao, who had just been disqualified from bidding in the auction house and had caused him to be manipulated by his son, was blocking the door of the auction house, blocking the way of his Pythagorean minister Murong Mo.

Murong Mo only presided over the auction of three routes. With his status, the Jiade Auction House could not afford to hire him as an auctioneer. Yu Xinyao had calculated that he would leave after the first half of the auction, so she just waited for him at the door.

"Mo Lang, long time no see." Yu Xinyao's beautiful eyes were full of affection, which could overflow if not careful.

"Your humble servant greets the princess. I still have errands to run. Please let me pass." Murong Mo bowed his head and maintained this posture, determined not to even look at Yu Xinyao.

"You can't skip meals when you're working for the emperor. It's time for lunch now. Xinyao has reserved a table at Baiweizhai. Please, Molang, come and have fun." Yu Xinyao pinched the handkerchief, her tone gentler than ever before when facing others.

"I have the emperor's order to obey, so I'm sorry I can't accompany you." Murong Mo maintained the posture of saluting, with a thousand horses running through his heart. Meeting this annoying guy diluted a lot of the joy of the successful auction.

Su Xi, who was following Yu Xinyao, felt sad. He had been following the princess for so long, and everyone said that he was favored. However, he had never heard the princess speak to him in such a tone. What right did Murong Mo have to do that?

She gritted her teeth, still angry, so she said sarcastically: "The whole world belongs to the king. Are you going to disobey the princess's order? Aren't you afraid that the princess will chop off your head?"

Murong Mo pretended not to hear. Yu Xinyao was a princess and he had to reply to her. What was this concubine? It would be a loss of his identity if he argued with her.

Su Xi was already angry, and now seeing that Murong Mo didn't even respond to her words, it was as if she had been insulted when talking to him. It was like punching cotton. She was immediately annoyed and angry. She had been spoiled by the princess for so long that she had forgotten her identity. She rushed forward and raised her hand to hit Murong Mo.

"How dare you!" The servants and guards following Murong Mo and the officials in charge of the auction from the Ministry of Revenue blocked Murong Mo's way. The princess was making things difficult for Lord Murong, and they had no way to deal with it. He was a member of the royal family, and this lover was too bold.

If Lord Murong was slapped by this concubine, he would be ashamed and angry. They also failed to protect him, and they would definitely be punished by the emperor.

At this time, Emperor Yong'an and his entourage walked out of the auction house. They saw Yu Xinyao blocking the door to stop Murong Mo, saw Murong Mo humbly bowing, and saw that Yu Xinyao's lover actually wanted to slap Murong Mo. He instantly flew into a rage, "Evil creature, how dare this slave!"

Emperor Yong'an was so angry that the guards around him flew forward and kicked Su Xi to the ground. The guards around the emperor were all masters of the palace. It was like using a butcher knife to kill a chicken to deal with a weak concubine. Su Xi flew far away like a rag doll and fell to the ground motionless.

Yu Xinyao saw Su Xi being beaten and her life or death unknown. She screamed and felt extremely distressed. After all, they had slept in the same bed for so long, and Su Xi was used to pleasing her. She didn't care about Murong Mo or who was coming. She ran to Su Xi, squatted on the ground, hugged Su Xi's head and shouted: "Su Xi, Su Xi, what's wrong with you? Don't scare me!"

Su Xi twitched a few times and spat out some blood, but she still had her eyes closed and did not move.

"Whoever hurt Su Xi, this princess will kill you." Yu Xinyao's eyes were red with anger. Murong Mo refused to accept her invitation, and she even lost another Su Xi. How could she not be angry?

She heard footsteps stop in front of her. When she raised her tearful face, she met the angry eyes of Emperor Yong'an. Yu Xinyao was so scared that she fell to the ground, "Father, why are you here?"

"How could I know if I wasn't here? The princess of Dayan intercepted an official from the imperial court who was carrying out errands for her father, the emperor, in the street."

"How would I know if I wasn't here? The princess of Dayan takes human life lightly. She kills people whenever she opens her mouth or closes her mouth."

"How would I know if I wasn't here? The princess of Great Yan actually disturbed the order of the imperial auction with a stick and a fire."

"How would I know if I wasn't here? My princess of Dayan abandoned her sick mother and didn't take care of her, but instead hugged a concubine and yelled at her."

"Third brother, I thought you were just arrogant and romantic, so I turned a blind eye to it. I didn't expect that you could take human lives and disrupt the government. You are really unworthy of being a princess."

Look at Qiao Xuan's daughter, and then look at his own daughter. It's really true that comparison is the root of all evil. Fortunately, his Fei'er gave birth to a son for him and brought Qiao Xuan's daughter back. Otherwise, he would have died in depression.

Lili is only sixteen years old, but she has a broad mind and a global vision. Look at what she does day after day. She is thinking about making money for her poor father, helping the weak, benefiting the people, and making the country peaceful and prosperous.

Then he looked at his daughter, who was already in her twenties. All she did every day was keep lovers, eat, drink and have fun. She had never done anything serious. Yes, he remembered that she had even held a crappy banquet in an attempt to hurt Lili. If Lili hadn't comforted him and said that she hadn't suffered any loss, he would have punished her long ago.

It's better to do it today than to choose a day, and today is a good day. He glanced sharply at Yu Xinyao who was still sitting on the ground crying. At this moment, he didn't dare to look back at Fei'er and her two daughters. It was so embarrassing, really embarrassing.

"Liangsheng, draft the edict." Liangsheng was the name of Eunuch Li, and no one had called him that for many years. This made Emperor Yong'an so angry that he started calling Eunuch Li by the name he used when he was young.

"The eldest princess, Yu Xinyao, has bad morals. She is stripped of her title of princess and demoted to a county lady. All her expenses will be cut and she must move out of the princess's mansion within three days." After Emperor Yong'an finished speaking, he walked away in big strides without even looking back.

Just like the eldest prince and the second prince, they both had poor moral character, which showed that Emperor Yong'an was very angry. He did not demote her to a commoner because he saw that she was a woman, and if she was demoted to a commoner, she would not be able to survive and would lose the face of the royal family.

This farce was seen by several people not far away. The leader, a wealthy woman, curled her lips in disdain.
